If you work from home, you already know that two of the most frequent recommendations are: try to separate rooms and have everything you need to work comfortably. Doing both is not always possible, but you should try whenever you can. Especially now that with solutions like IKEA's it's easy. Here are some recommendations for have a more efficient teleworking space.
A table and comfortable chair
We have already spoken on more than one occasion about the importance of the table where you work. Depending on the activity you do and the material you usually use every day to carry it out, it will be interesting if it meets some characteristics or others.
To start with, we always recommend large desks, with a good width and depth. Because this way you can place everything you need without feeling overwhelmed by it. Then there is the issue of height, which is also important. Although the most interesting thing here is that you can regulate it or that it is directly a desk that allows you to work standing and sitting. Because that way you change your position from time to time and stay somewhat more active.
Sit-stand desks there are many and IKEA itself has interesting proposals such as the series Bekant, Skarsta, Rodulf or Idåsen. Each one of them has its own peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages, but in general they offer the ability to work as you feel most comfortable at all times.
Similarly, finding a chair that you are comfortable with for long periods of time is also important. Although the ideal is that you do not spend more time sitting than is really necessary. So, here again it's a bit of searching until you find the best chair to work for you.
IKEA accessories to work comfortably from home
Now that you have your table and chair, and that you also have the necessary equipment to carry out your professional activity from home, let's see some accessories that you can find at IKEA and that will help you enjoy a more pleasant experience.
EILIF, separate yourself from the rest of the house.
When you work from home, unless you live alone, it's important to be able to isolate yourself while doing your business. In small homes it is not always possible to have a separate room and even if you do have it, it is interesting to be able to Separate yourself from whoever may be with you working.
In many offices there are the famous cubicles. Although it is not the idea, because open spaces offer advantages when working, it is true that being able to improve yourself a little is attractive. For this, at IKEA there are EILIF panels that give you that option and incidentally, due to their design and materials, they can also be useful to control the sound bounce a bit. The latter is interesting if you dedicate yourself to podcast or video topics.
ELLOVEN, a note board on wheels
For creative users, for those who organize themselves using numerous notes, etc., there are the new wheel boards ELLOVEN. These allow you to have a double-sided vertical space that you can move wherever you go and it is interesting.
TROT
Continuing with the theme of notes, this other note board called TROTTEN is also interesting if you work from home. Because you can place it where it is most comfortable for you to see and always have your next objectives or useful information for the project or work that you are carrying out at that moment in sight.
At IKEA there are more memo boards, some metal to place magnets and others made of cork or fabric for thumbtacks, but these two recent proposals (TROTTEN and ELLOVEN) seem to us the most striking and attractive by design.
SUMMERA
This other accessory that you can find at IKEA is a organizer with six compartments SUMMERA that you can place in different drawers (it can be cut to fit the size of the drawer). In it you can place all the material such as pens, clips, scissors or even batteries, chargers, etc., that you may need in an orderly manner.
In addition, an interesting detail is that due to the type of material in which it is made, the noise caused by dropping these objects is avoided, as well as possible scratches on the surface of the drawer.
TERTIAL gooseneck
We have mentioned it on more than one occasion and we have to keep talking about it. He may not be the most aesthetic of all those offered by the brand, but the TERTIAL gooseneck it is the most versatile. You can fix it to the table or place it on the wall. There are so many possibilities that the result is a very versatile lighting solution to have that extra bit of light where and when you need it. Even if the only thing you are looking for is to have an indirect light that helps you make work time more pleasant.
Björkåsen, a small table to change the environment
Finally, even if you work from home and have a space dedicated solely and exclusively to your professional activity, it is good to be able to change the environment as you would in the office. Sometimes just to have a coffee and regain strength, other times to do other activities that are less demanding on concentration, such as checking email.
You can do this in the kitchen at home or wherever you want, but since the idea is to be comfortable, a good option is to bet on this new laptop stand or laptop table from IKEA. It's all about the model Björkåsen.
This can be adjusted in height, it can also be tilted to find the ideal position when writing with the laptop and, as if that were not enough, it also has a place for you to place your cup of coffee, tea or another drink that you are drinking.
Other furniture to consider for your home office
To finish adapting your home office, nothing better than accompanying all this with a wardrobe or shelving that allows you to save all those possible documents and other information that you generate.
To do this, you can use what you already have at home or opt for furniture designed for office use such as the IKEA Bekant series. Here there is no longer a precise recommendation, because there are factors such as the space of each house that influence. Therefore, it is a job that you will have to do, but with what we recommend your workspace will improve quickly.
